in the beginning he's talking about himself in third person "Ramblin boy you've been around, Dallas to the underground, High above and down below". he then continues into the song as if he's reflecting on a previous relationship or lost love that he either gave up too soon on or gave up without trying. you almost get the feeling that the two spent time together through music or "running" around (I would give anything, For one more night to run and one last song to sing) because he wants to just got back to those times, at least once. such remorse and sadness.

it's beautifully written and even better when heard live.
